Photography - what floats, what sinks
Change is often a difficult thing for people, but photography is about change. Changes in technology, or more importantly, changes in yourself. Many people start their photography journey learning the technical side of their camera system rather than the characteristics of a good photo. Sometimes this leads to frustration and a negative experience, the worst kind of change. It’s one of the many reasons cell phone photography is so popular, a focus on the photo not the technology. Bob Ryan talks about taking great photos in his book (2017): The Master Photographer – the journey from good to great. You can see the chart from his book in this publication on page 106, exhibit 4.4 ( eprints.glos.ac.uk/8200/1/8200-Bob-Ryan-PhD-Thesis-Intuit... ). He floats the idea that impact, creativity, and narrative are the most important. The other, more technical, things sink to the bottom.
